Just for the record… I love all my readers. Every last one of y’all… but like Iyanla Vanzant told Oprah that time… ‘when you see “CRAZY” coming, cross the street’!

That being said, Darshelle Jones-Rakestraw, aka Usher Raymond’s stalker “wife,” is no stranger to StraightFromTheA.com and while we’ve never met, she’s frequented the site and has often commented under the names “Darshelle” or “Khavinna”.

Last Saturday (June 30th), Darshelle sent me an email (which was cc’d to President Barack Obama) containing a list of 39 questions.

There was no explanation, but I’m assuming Darshelle is preparing her defense for “allegedly” stalking the superstar singer.

I don’t know the logic behind Darshelle’s line of questioning, but I’m not the one on trial… and neither is Barack Obama.

On a related note, TMZ reported today that Tameka Raymond may be using the fact that Usher has a deranged fan stalking his every move in their ongoing custody dispute.

Usher and Tameka Raymond have engaged in a lengthy custody battle in court that is set to resume next month. Tameka has previously cited everything from Usher’s tour schedule to alleged drug use as to why she believes her ex should not have custody of their kids.

Now, we’re told Tameka will use this latest incident with Usher’s alleged stalker, Darshelle Jones-Rakestraw, to fuel her case. Our sources say the kids were with Usher during one of the alleged incidents when Jones-Rakestraw showed up at his home.

According to our sources, Tameka is scared for her kids’ safety since Jones-Rakestraw was able to get all the way to Usher’s home … even though he lives in a gated community and has a security team.

When the trial resumes in August, we’re told Tameka hopes this latest incident sways the court her way.

My sources say that the story is false, but clearly it’s not such a bad idea.

Especially considering the fact that Darshelle posted up on Usher’s front steps that day and plugged in her iPad as if she were at home.

Yes… she’s reportedly “homeless” but has both an iPhone and an iPad. Jones-Rakestraw is also very astute online because she has several twitter accounts, instagram, and tumblr pages.

I just died 50/11 times behind this..as far as using this for custody..the boys are in danger with Tameka as well because they are in FACT his sons..I wouldn’t even try this if it were true..but the questions..boo stop it! She needs attention badly and we keep giving it to her..time to let go

WOAH @ the story!! ummm i kinda doubt this statement —-> "the boys are in danger with Tameka as well because they are in FACT his sons" PLEASE explain how they are in danger w/ her! Anyways I searched up this lady stalker even more & she posted pictures on her Facebook of her outside his house (I believe inside as well not sure), his mother business and his New Look Foundation World Leadership Conference @ Emory that just past smdh. BUT my main question is how the freak did she get past security in the first place *side eye*! OH Usher i feel bad for you. Btw his album is great 🙂 kay bye

It’s not hard to figure out what I meant. It has nothing to do with Tameka.Usher is an international superstar,people know what his sons look like as well as his ex.These children are in danger every time they walk out the house,especially with a lunatic on the loose.Children of stars need security period .

TianaJay

i didnt say it had something to do with Tameka i just wanted to know what you meant sheesh it was just a question. I understand what you mean NOW & I agree. THANKS for explaining.

I hope the Secret Service impound her computer for this stupid ish. And I know they got CNN where ever she at…don’t she know Obama is busy RUNNING A CAMPAIGN?!? *sigh* now I feel like her eyes are following me in her pics….

stlchick

LOL. Eyes are absolutely spooky. Black people in colored contacts bother me anyway. In that pic, she has a True Blood vampire look.

Why do I have this feeling that this is a setup by Tameka. But that’s just my slight suspicion.

This chic is Coo Coo, real talk! She needs help and I’m hoping that the hospital doesn’t release her after the 72hr hold. Stalking is a serious crime, especially in this day of technology. How in the hell did she find his home & enter a gated community! I feel for Usher & his family (including his ex wife).

As far as Tameka trying to use this as a weapon in court, she may want to think again. Until this stalker situation is addressed by the courts I would think that both parents would be concerned for the children’s safety irregardless of which parent gained custody. Hopefully this nut will be prosecuted & kept for court ordered inpatient treatment at a state psychiatric facility or prison!

Jackie

What kinda question is: <b>16.When is the last time that you have visited a doctor for an eye exam,dentist, and saw a primary physician?</b>

Sound like her line of questions is really a continuation of the stalking!

CARA

SMH MENTAL ILLNESS AINT NO JOKE BUT I PRAY FOR HER.

stlchick

What.THE.Fuck!!!?????
Financhial? Really? I agree, Tameka would be a fool not to try to use this to her advantage, but like someone pointed out the kids could be at risk with her too. If she could get to Usher’s house, she could get to Tameka’s. Hell, she may even be in MORE danger if she feels threatened by her in some way.
I guess Grace should go into hiding for awhile. And the bridesmaids from his wedding. And the other women he’s probably screwing that could fill an old Roman Colloseum.

2bme

Thanku for understanding what I meant by the boys being in danger as well..its unfortunate that I had to explain it.

stlchick

Is it true, ATLien…she was hospitalized on the 30th? I see she’s been unusually quiet…as has her friend. Things that make you go, "hmmmm." lol

See ya!

If she was hospitalized she’s out now. I saw her tweeting earlier today.

stlchick

Aawww shit! Time for the Raymonds to take a family vacation. A few days will do nothing. Therapy is needed. Should be court mandated.

sexxy

This chick has a lot of loose screws on her brain,hope they keep coo coo in the hospital.

MzJ

I’m wondering if the "Tameka team" hired this lady to play this part for their win…..if so, that was a brilliant move! This is just too crazy to be real.

I really hope this lunatic hasn’t ruined his chances of getting custody. I applaud him for WANTING to raise his kids. Some men have to be chased down to be a responsible father nowadays. I’ve never seen such a fight to stop a man from being a real father to his children. They need to do the right thing and do joint custody and parent these kids the same way they made them…TOGETHER! And Usher needs to tighten up on his security team or consider relocating. Its one thing to be a die hard fan and its another to be obnoxious and intrusive. This is real life lady! There children involved. Fall back and make a scrapbook or something like normal fans do. This girl needs to be in an asylum. And I hope she finds her way there. Especially if she messes up his case with this foolery.

stlchick

Well said.

hoder

Is she still free or in an mental institution?

Smokey’s Mom

I think Question #36 settles it all….

Shawn

Someone PUHLEASE give Usher a restraining order!! This heffa is batty!! She may want to be cool though cause we ALL know that Tameka not dealing with a full deck and Tameka will hunt that crazy bird down. LOL. I hope Usher gets his restraining order, I hope this lady gets some meds and counseling, I hope Tameka also gets meds and counseling, and most of all I PRAY those little boys of Tameka and Usher’s are not effected by the constant foolishness that seems to be surrounding their parents. SMH. Oh and ATLien, you may want to get a restraining order against ole girl and some mace as well cause she got that look in her eye and should not be trusted. LOL.

stlchick

I hope the RO is enough to scare her away. I know first hand that some people take that piece of paper and practically wipe their ass with it. Now, with him being a celebrity with children they may take it seriously. In my case (and the case of my neighbors…we all had issues with one sick bitch that harrassed us all to the point of moving and ROs), the cops did nothing. "oh, no witnesses? Well, it’s your word against hers. Have a good evening." Our tormentor was known by the mayor, the aldermen and the chief of police. She’s had over 30 ROs filed against her. A cop even asked us if we thought about putting a hit out on her.

Mrsshya

Reading this is sad & scary. She’s not in control of her own brain. Can u imagine that? That’s why the old people I grew up around would pray & thank God for "waking me up this morning, clothed in my right mind". Sometimes mental illness can strike in early adult hood. Schizophrenia especially. I once heard from a family who sent their son off to college. One day he called them from a pay phone screaming that giants were chasing him! He’s been m.i. Ever since. Stuff like that scares me. Pray people!

MrsT

Im sorry this chick is sad and embarassing.

Gina

Ummmmm….why did she ‘cc the president?

erica

My thoughts exactly!

customcalendars4u2

Tameka may be a "MAD Black Woman", but she is not that Stupid… If this crazy lady is found to be connected to Tameka in any way,shape or form she will most definitely lose custody of her children for certain!

stlchick

My sentiments exactly! Tameka’s too smart to do something that dumb.

VICTORIA

I’m beginning to wonder did Tameka hire this chick to pursue Usher and stalk him so she can have the upper hand in the custody battle!!!
